Happy 6th Birthday Matthew!

Man, time flies!  I can't believe he is 6!  It seems like only yesterday we were living in Ohio and I felt like I was the last person on the planet who needed to have their baby.  I was 10 days past due and begging my doctor to induce me.  I went in Monday morning May 1st all ready to have the baby (I really had no birth plan but really just to have him) and 17 hours later I was so tired and mad because not only was he 10 days late, he couldn't even come on his induction date!  He was quickly encroaching on MY birthday so c-section it was!  At 12:57 am on May 2nd, 2006 Matthew Christopher Herzog came into the world weighing 8lbs 5oz.  He was the perfect baby (he really was!) and I thought "I got this motherhood thing!" :)  Well, maybe not quite down pat but I continually work at it!  He really is the sweetest, most loving boy and this morning I woke up to find him nestled between me and Chris.  Now that I know him, it really doesn't surprise me that it took surgery to get him out.  He is so independent but loves to be near us.  I am so lucky to be his mother and so happy for him on his birthday!
